The U.S. Embassy Nairobi Monday, canceled all their appointments with the consular section at the U.S due to power outage.<\/p>\n

\n

Due to a power outage, all appointments with the consular section at U.S. Embassy Nairobi on March 2, 2020 are cancelled. The Embassy will contact applicants to reschedule canceled appointments. We sincerely regret the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Kenyans, however, expressed their opinions following the tweet by the embassy others questioning why such a big organization does not have a backup generator.<\/p>\n

Here are reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\n

So shame to kenya. After 60 years of independence Nairobi the capital still suffers power outage????<\/p>\n

\n

I highly doubt it\u2019s a power issue. A whole US Embassy can\u2019t be without a power back up.
\nBut anyway, what do I even know about embassies<\/p>\n

How comes a big embassy like you, you can’t afford a generator and the way you charge a lot for interviews<\/p>\n

\u2014 kamau wambui (@joewambo)\u00a0March 2, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

You must have rejected a visa application by a very senior employee\u00a0@KenyaPower_Care<\/a>. He had to suspend your reggae.<\/p>\n

\n

There’s no a backup generator united states of America over 20 trillion GDP????,no no no,I doubt if this is an official tweeter account of u.s embassy Nairobi,no, can’t be.<\/p>\n

\u2014 George otieno onyango (@Georgeotienoon7)\u00a0March 2, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

There’s a bigger reason. Power outage is just being polite.<\/p>\n

hv u paid yr bill?
\nDo u hv an alternate power source?<\/p>\n

Do u know that Jubilee dint win the General Election?<\/p>\n
